Script to Schedule Breakdown

The breakdown tool
that works the way
you do.

Import your script. Voodoo Script detects every scene, INT/EXT, Day/Night, and calculates page counts in eighths. AI assists with cast detection and synopsis writing — the scheduling strip is previewed as you build it in the breakdown window. You decide what goes on the strip.

Capabilities

Everything a Breakdown Needs.
Nothing It Doesn't.

PDF Import

Reads any PDF screenplay. Auto-detects industry-standard formatting and sluglines regardless of how the script was generated.

Automatic
Scene Detection

Every scene numbered, flagged INT or EXT, Day or Night, with location names extracted and normalised. Handles ambiguous formats.

Automatic
Page Eighths

Scene lengths in industry-standard eighths of a page — the unit every line producer and AD depends on for day-out-of-days planning.

Automatic
Cast Assist

AI suggests speaking cast per scene. You confirm, edit, or discard. Confirmed names drive export — suggestions never auto-populate without review.

AI Assisted
Synopsis Writer

Concise one-line scene synopses for the stripboard, ready in seconds. Always editable — overtype at any time. The words you'd have written, faster.

AI Assisted
MMS / FDX Export

Direct export to Movie Magic Scheduling, Final Draft FDX, or CSV. Your breakdown, in the tools already in use on every major UK and US drama.
